Peter Adamson, Professor of Ancient and Medieval Philosophy at King’s College London, takes listeners through the history of philosophy, “without any gaps.” Beginning with the earliest ancient thinkers, the series will look at the ideas and lives of the major philosophers (eventually covering in detail such giants as Plato, Aristotle, Avicenna, Aquinas, Descartes, and Kant) as well as the lesser-known figures of the tradition.
So far, logically enough, they all concern ancient philosophy: Pythagoras, Heraclitus, Anaxagoras, the overall development of Presocratic philosophy from the Milesians to Parmenides… way to go!
